MEP HVAC Engineer

The Opportunity

In this role, you will design, coordinate, and support the installation of mechanical and electrical building systems that enable safe, reliable, and energy-efficient project delivery within Hitachi Energy's North America Grid Integration business. You will develop HVAC and electrical power/lighting designs, create layouts and schematics in AutoCAD and Revit, and produce specifications and design documentation aligned to project needs.

Your work will bring multiple disciplines together-partnering with architects, structural engineers, contractors, vendors, and other stakeholders to integrate MEP systems into building designs and resolve interface/clash items. You will also support on-site activities such as reviewing shop drawings and RFIs, performing site visits, and supporting testing and commissioning-helping ensure systems are installed as intended and operate safely and effectively. Through engineering calculations (heat loads, pressure drop/head loss, equipment sizing/selection) and sustainability-focused design choices (energy-efficient HVAC and lighting, controls strategies, and water-saving fixtures), you will contribute to functionality, code compliance, and performance outcomes that matter to how critical infrastructure is delivered and operated.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Design HVAC and electrical power distribution/lighting systems, layouts, and schematics using AutoCAD and Revit to meet project requirements.
• Develop specifications and design documentation that support safe, functional, and energy-efficient building system installations.
• Coordinate across disciplines (architectural, structural, contractor, vendor) to integrate MEP systems and resolve interface/clash issues.
• Perform engineering calculations and equipment sizing/selection, including heat loads, pressure drop/head loss, and related performance studies.
• Support energy modeling activities and apply engineering judgment to optimize system performance, reliability, and lifecycle cost.
• Ensure designs, submittals, and installations align with applicable building codes, standards, and safety requirements, including fire/life safety interfaces where applicable.
• Review shop drawings and RFIs and provide site support through visits and workmanship verification during installation activities.
• Identify and implement sustainable solutions such as energy-efficient HVAC and lighting systems, controls strategies, and water-saving fixtures to support energy and water reduction targets where applicable.
• Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.

Your Background

• Candidate must already have work authorization that would permit them to work for Hitachi Energy in the United States.
• Bachelor's degree in mechanical or electrical engineering.
• 5-10 years of experience in construction, facility management, or MEP design (years of experience commensurate with role level).
• Proficient with AutoCAD, Revit, and MEP/BIM modeling and coordination workflows.
• Sound understanding of HVAC, electrical power and lighting, fire protection interfaces, and energy management principles.
• Able to communicate effectively, solve problems, and coordinate with internal and external stakeholders across design and construction phases.
• Demonstrated ownership and accountability for technical quality, deliverables, and deadlines; able to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced project environment.
